!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!!
NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with
illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources:

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:52:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain quests-sunrise.xyz is currently under investigation for credential theft. While the domain is not presently active, having been taken offline, it stands as a potential risk due to its association with threat activities. The site falls under the 'generic phishing' category, suggesting its use in malicious attempts to steal sensitive information, particularly user credentials.

The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on June 08, 2026. Despite being offline, it has already been placed on three security blocklists, including those managed by MetaMask, PhishDestroy, and SEAL. Interestingly, VirusTotal has not yet flagged this domain, showing 0 out of 95 detections, which could suggest the domain's activities were either short-lived or highly targeted. Additionally, it has been referenced in four threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, indicating ongoing monitoring and threat intelligence interest.

To protect against potential credential theft threats from domains like quests-sunrise.xyz, users are advised to employ robust security measures. These include enabling multi-factor authentication on accounts, regularly updating passwords, and maintaining vigilance against unsolicited emails or communications that request personal information. Network administrators should ensure that security software is current and capable of identifying and blocking suspicious domains and associated activity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260608-23B531
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
